45.The Four Phantom knight-A(Community)

There are all kinds of people in the poverty town.

Some of them have lived here since the days when this was a middle class place.

They are living here because their past of living a normal life with their families can't have been abandoned.

However, this town is already a forgetten society of the United States with many empty houses.

People living in the forgetten society of the United States have their pride chipped away at just by living there.


Jennifer is living here because she can't let go of her past.


The West Side of the poverty town Jim and others are walking.

Jim says. "We used to have a good society here."

Carl says. "Now it's like a graveyard."

As a result of the United States moving factories overseas and not maintaining domestic industry, there are many poverty towns in the United States just like this town.

But President Toraf is trying to change this situation.

Carl says. "So, President Toraf has to win."

Jim says. "That's right. That's why I'm helping you."


 Bill and others arrive in front of a house that looks like it's about to collapse.

Jim says. "Jennifer, I'm Jim."

 A moment later, Jim says again, louder.


Jennifer appears. She is a black panther woman.

The figure she appears in is dressed in frayed clothes here and there.

Jennifer asks. "My son returned. Why did you come? And who are these people you're with?"

Jim says. "I come here to ask you a few questions. With me are my friends."


Jim produces the birthday card that was returned.

Jim asks. "Why did the boy come to return it?"

Jennifer says. "He's Dot's son. If Dot Youngstown were still alive, he wouldn't let his son join the riot."

Jim says. "The ideal that Dot believed in was the society where ordinary people could live ordinary lives."

Jennifer says. "At first, you and Dot, immigrant from the communist country, had a heated argument."

Jim says. "At the end of the day, we could understand that a society where people can't speak freely about facts is no good."

At first, Dot believed in the ideals of the communists, but through Jim's actual experience, he undersood that the communists were lying and could understand Jim.


Jennifer says. "You and Dot became friends, and Dot sent you a birthday card, but Dot died soon after."

Jim asks. "Why was your son part of the riot?"

Jennifer says. "My son thought he was in for a part-time job."

Jennifer explains how her son joined his thinking it was the part-time job.


(Go back in time to when Jennifer's son, David, is the park.)


David and others gather at the edge of the park, as they always do part-time at demonstrations.

That's usually where the marijuana dealers wandering around.

David participates in the demonstration as usual here.

David is going to get a dailly allowance when the demonstration is over.


However, the demonstration is different from usual.

There are many men with their whole bodies covered in black color and wearing black sunglasses.

David says in a small voice. "Quite a lot."

The man in black next to David asks. "What's wrong?"

David says. "Nothing."

The man takes his eyes off David.

David and others walk out with placards.

When they arrive at the main street of the poverty town, suddenly men dressed in black break down the shutters of the stores.

They start taking goods out of the stores.

David just stands there.

David has planned to join the demonstration part-time, but the demonstration turns into the riot, and he didn't know what to do.

Some one tells David. "Go inside and take the goods."

When David walked into the store, there were no golden items.

David brings out a bunch of birthday cards that no one else is willing to take out.

The birthday card doesn't sell, but David knowgs that Jennifer treasured his father's birthday cards.

So David has the bunch of birthday cards that he thinks Jennifer will enjoy.

Some one shouts. "We're going to set them on fire."

David rushes out of the store.

Those with valuable goods to sell, and those with usable goods to return home.

David also has the bunch of birthday cards to go home with.


When David gets home, he gives Jennifer the bunch of birthday cards.

David says. "Mom like birthday cards, don't you?"

Jennifer has her hasband's belongings that she cherishes. Among the belongings are birthday cards.

Jennifer looks at each of the birthday cards.

And Jennifer's hand stops at a birthday card.

The birthday card is the one Dot sent to Jim.

Jennifer asks. "Why do you bring it to me?"

David explains that he was going to take a part-time job, which turned into a riot.

David brings out the bunch of birthday cards, thinking that Jennifer would be happy to see them.

Jennifer tells David to return the birthday card to Jim.



Jim, who had heard the story from Jennifer, says. "I need David to give me some clues about the men who covered their entire bodies in black clothing."


Jennifer calls David.

David appears soon. David has been listening by the door.

David gives Jim the bunch of birthday cards.

David says. "I don't want to tell them because they're not the true poverty town."


Jennifer says. "You're the last thing I'm proud of."

David says. "I know. I'm going to high school."

Jennifer says. "Your father was also my pride. But he was gone."

David says. "Why my father died for those poor people? I'll never know."

Jennifer says. "Yes, your father was trying to change the future of the poor."

Jennifer thinks of Dot and burst into tears.

David says. "It's a gray building near the park. It has a sign in a foreign language."

David says BKM's clues to get rid of Jim and others as soon as possible, because Jennifer is sad.


Jim says. "Thank you."


Jim leads the way to the park, where Yotsuo and Diana meet up with them on the way.

Yotsuo says. "We're here because Jirou told us that Bill and others are heading for a dangerous building."

Jirou told Yotsuo and Diana that Bill and others were approaching a building with guards armed with rifles from a considerable distance above.

Diana gives Jim a bulletproof vest and a rifle.

Jim puts on his bulletproof vest and checks his rifle.

Bill asks Jim. "Are you ready?"

Jim says. "OK."


Bill and others find the building behind the park with a sign for the foreign language.


Bullets are flying at them from the second floor of the building.
